Bitcoin Tops $1,000 On Zynga Accepting The Currency

(Undated) -- The price of the virtual currency known as Bitcoin is above the $1,000 mark again.

The price surge comes after the social game service Zynga said it would start accepting Bitcoin for items used in some of its online games.

Bitcoin's price surpassed eleven-hundred dollars on an online exchange that trades the digital money for dollars and other currencies. Bitcoin first crossed the one-thousand-dollar threshold in late November.
